NB:  That's strange, do you have dir aliased to dir -l or something?  Or 
maybe your distribution does.  According to the dir info page, dir is 
supposed to be the equivalent of ls -Cb, nothing about long output, so 
just a plain dir shouldn't list anything but the names, as it does here.  
But talking about ls... that's what I'm used to seeing.  I tend to forget 
there's even a dir command until I see posts like this.

Of course that has nothing really to do with the issue of the thread, 
thus the NB, but I found it interesting, none-the-less.
